Is being fat bad for us, or can we really be “healthy at any size”?

We’ve been conditioned to believe “obesity is an epidemic,” but can a person be healthy AND overweight? Are the old standards of obesity and BMI really applicable when human beings come in all shapes and sizes? 

Sarah talks with Dr. Tiffany Lowe Clayton, a bariatrician with WakeMed, about body image, obesity, weight loss and the idea that we can be “healthy at any size.” They also dive into weight loss medication (especially the current fad of semaglutides) and how they work.

When it comes to life, wellness, health and medicine, we all have questions. Sarah King is not afraid to ask ANYTHING.

Is THIS normal?  Is THAT a problem I should see a doctor about?  

What can I do RIGHT NOW to keep fill in the blank from happening in the future? 

Sarah King has questions, but instead of a 10-minute doctor’s appointment where she comes away without answers, she gets to sit down with world-class physicians for candid conversations. And she’s not afraid to ask anything! No topic is off limits from sex, infertility and menopause to mental health, exercise and "Do I really need probiotics?” Doctors from WakeMed in Raleigh, NC answer her questions...ALL of her questions!

Sarah has questions, and admit it, you do too!  Sarah Has Questions is produced by MIX 101.5 in Raleigh, NC.
